STATS SportVU: The Independently Validated Optical-Tracking Solution

In its mission to make STATS SportVU the global standard for accuracy among optical-tracking systems, STATS commissioned a 12-month independent study with the Technical University of Munich to validate STATS SportVU alongside a global-positioning system and a local-positioning system with the three tested against gold-standard technologies. This paper summarises the results of the study for sports scientists.

Shell Qatar chose to use STATS’ technology to track the distance covered and calories burned by participants in its Koora Time football tournament. Providing a link between the amateur and elite games, the initiative was an opportunity to deliver a genuinely unique and professional experience to young players.

“We decided to partner with STATS as they offered live tracking of each individual player, showing the results of how far every participant ran and the calories they burned.”
